Screenshots, PDFs, and output capture
This page explains which capture artifact fits which proof problem so browser QA stops being fuzzy and overclaimed.
Capture ruleChoose the output that proves the thing you are actually claiming: pixels, structure, or exported document.
Output types
What each capture artifact is actually good for
ScreenshotUse when the page appearance or layout is the main question.
Labeled screenshotUse when you need the visual state and the action map in one artifact.
SnapshotUse when the question is interactive structure or available refs, not pixels.
PDFUse when the exported document itself is the deliverable or evidence.
Examples
Examples of correct capture choices
Mobile clipping checkUse a screenshot or full-page screenshot, not only a snapshot.
Need refs for the next actionUse a snapshot, because a plain screenshot does not expose actionable structure.
Need the generated handout itselfUse PDF capture when the document export is the product being reviewed.
